OK ladies help me out here. You've asked in the past that when we reach out to you we include all the information you need up front so you can easily screen and not have to waste time back and forth with emails. Yet when I travel I don't know if Provider A is going to be available or want to see me versus Provider B. So then, I end up making multiple requests of ladies to the same date. If not, I have to get a yes or no before moving onto my next lady.

So today, I was talking to a couple of women for an appointment over a week away in another City. I ended up booking with one and having to let the other know I had gone a differed direction. And of course, the woman I didn't book with got pissy. Now I understand that she screened me and spent some time on her end. Yet in a scenario where I don't move onto Provider B until Provider A says yay or nay it could take forever. In either scenario someone gets pissed.

Part of the solution is a little lead time and a quick response from provider A. It chafes when you're in this situation and A doesn't answer for days.

I always go linear but a casual approach by the provider tells me a lot about her. I really warm to her when she replys promptly and always thank her for her timely response. Generally if I don't hear from her in 24-48hrs after an appointment request, I move on. In one case, I have elected not to see a provider again based on her continually  neglecting to respond to me in a reasonable time frame. While I understand we are all busy, Everyone needs to feel valued not to mention it is just good business...Food for thought

I do most of my hobbying on the road. As soon as my travel schedule firms up, I start setting my dates. I have had shanahanluu's problem many times.

This morning I had next month's schedule so I sent 3 emails to 3 Favorites (one is in the "soon to be a favorite" category, I'm sure) for dates in 3 different cities. All responded almost immediately and my month was set within hours! I have seen 2 of them many times and have been communicating with the 3rd a lot over the last month. What GREAT ladies! A big thank you to Monet in LA, Allie in LA and Arden in San Diego! You are awesome!
